[The_Reader_David]

You fail to recognize the actual implications of the Fall. All creation was distorted when Adam turned from God's intent to be in communion with Him, and human nature most of all. We are not souls dwelling in bodies, or imprisoned in bodies, but unities of soul and body. It was not Adam's soul which was distorted when he was robbed of the garment of incorruption which is the Holy Spirit, but his whole being, how should this change not be reflected in the fiber of our being? Yes, even at the molecular level.

You also fail to distinguish between the temptation and the sin. There is no abomination in overcoming through grace a besetting temptation or propensity toward sodomy, but triumph. The propensity is either a source of sin if yielded to, or an ascetic podvig, which borne and overcome is a source of glory. Likewise with all the propensities toward sin which we bear. Wrath and pride will land us in Sheol just as quickly as buggery.

Adam's sin was a choice by his reason(?), not his genetic structure. Consequently, all sin is a choice.
We see through a glass darkly, not because we don't have enough rods, but because the secret things belong unto the Lord and we will have them revealed in another time, another place.
While we are here, we will live by faith.
It too, being a choice.

P.S. I had to look up 'tabula rasa' and for the life of me, I haven't a clue why you would 'type' me that way.
Explain?
